, Enabled by Clinical Decision Support from the Patented CareEngine([R]) System, Is More Than Just Data Storage; New Secure Online Tool Will Help Members and Doctors Make More Informed Decisions

NEW YORK New York, state, United States
New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of
 -- ActiveHealth Management (ActiveHealth([R])), a clinically-based, technologically-driven health management services company, today announced that it will launch an intelligent, interactive personal health record (PHR), called MyActiveHealth PHR, in January, 2007. The new secure online tool, powered by ActiveHealth's CareEngine([R]) System, will provide a dynamic analytic capability that informs members and their doctors about targeted and actionable opportunities to improve health care quality and lower costs.

The next generation PHR is designed to help members manage their overall health care more effectively. Each time members visit doctors, fill prescriptions or get lab tests, this information will be added to their MyActiveHealth PHR, automatically producing an evolving, comprehensive picture of their health. Members will also be encouraged to enter personal health information not available from claims, such as height and weight, smoking status, allergies, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements.

As new data is received, either from claims or from members, it will be scanned by ActiveHealth's proprietary CareEngine([R]) System, a patented clinical decision support technology, for individualized in·di·vid·u·al·ize

 and actionable opportunities to improve care. This member-specific information will be compared to the latest findings in evidence-based literature, which is continuously researched and updated by a team of over 15 physicians and pharmacists This is a list of notable pharmacists.

 email notification of alerts added to the PHR; their physicians will also be notified. Examples of alerts include potential adverse drug interactions, absence of therapeutically beneficial drugs, missing lab tests, and reminders for preventive exams such as mammograms and colonoscopies.

"The few PHRs available provide important portable storage for medical records. What is lacking is a dynamic analytic capability that can inform the individual as their data change or as the medical community's knowledge of various wellness and disease processes change. ActiveHealth's PHR brings a new level of personalized, interactive technology to help improve clinical outcomes, reduce medical errors and lower health care costs," said Lonny Reisman, MD, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Given our roots in data exchange and analysis, a smart PHR was a logical extension for ActiveHealth."

Leveraging the power of technology and clinical intelligence, MyActiveHealth PHR is a user-friendly tool with information organized in a simple and logical manner. It will be available online 24 hours a day.

To facilitate information exchange and communication between members and their various doctors, members will be able to provide online access to their physicians, or they can print out portions of their MyActiveHealth PHR to bring with them to appointments. Members can take information obtained from their doctors, as well as data such as blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol or weight, and enter this information in the tool's health trackers to monitor progress towards their health goals. My ActiveHealth PHR is further supplemented by a health risk assessment (HRA HRA Health Reimbursement Arrangement

) tool that is integrated within the PHR and analyzed with other sources of data to help members become more aware of their risk factors and learn about steps that can be taken to achieve optimal health.

MyActiveHealth PHR supports President Bush's Federal priority to provide Americans with electronic health records by 2014. Public and private sector initiatives are driving healthcare IT connectivity and interoperability to improve care and lower costs. ActiveHealth's development of an intelligent, interactive PHR and role in data exchange and Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO RHIO Regional Health Information Organization ) activities is a key step in reaching these national healthcare IT goals.
